You could add (re: Arab Spring) the riots in Jordan. Not being reported here, but there are mass riots there over rising gasoline prices. Another revolt may be in the making. Also, the Palestinian Authority has stopped paying its workers. Some 170,000 working men and women are without salary.
The PA has the money – it’s foreign aid budget alone is in the hundreds of millions – rather it has redirected the funds into military areas, not paying its workers.
Again, the workers may rise up there and overthrow a dictatorial government.
You should also turn your attention to the Congo, where the longest and worse war since 1945 is still going on. As a socialist, the actions of the rebel fighters and their core philosophy may be of interest. After all, this war is about minerals, mining, multinationals and capitalism.
